RE: iDRAC FWUpdate with racadm fails

Still fails after racadm upgrade. messageid: RED006. What firewall ports need to be open between OME server and idrac? Is it trying to download update from the internet or OME server?

Update: Running this command was successful:

I wonder if OME relys on the Internet and that is why it is still failing. I think it is restricted on what it can access.

racadm -r $idrac -u root -p $rootpw update -f firmimg.d7

RAC987: Firmware update job for firmimg.d7 is initiated.
This firmware update job may take several minutes to complete depending on the
component or firmware being updated. To view the progress of the job, use the
"racadm jobqueue view" command. If the job is scheduled, the system will require a manual reboot.
To reboot the system manually, use the "racadm serveraction powercycle" command.

RE: iDRAC FWUpdate with racadm fails

Hi, remote racadm works now. Nothing is failing anymore after upgrading to 9.1.0. What I still cannot do is use OpenManage Essentials to update lifecycle controller firmware. I'm looking to confirm what needs to be in place for that to work properly. The server can't use ftp to download firmware from dell. I think network connectivity is the issue but not sure.
